I'm already geeking out cuz Sung ho is so smooth and good with flirting but then Kwon was such a green flag with his respect for boundaries and consent and the way he held himself back from his urges AHHHHHHHHH
I dunno why but I'm actually experiencing greater reactions from these small things than those that has intense and complicated plots. A lot of bl authors go for the very toxic and heart wrenching stories but it doesn't really get to me that much lol, maybe cuz most of the time I don't really get how the characters even fell in love. Soft and fluffy stories really focus on love, more energy put into developing the relationship rather than navigating whatever issue or dillema they have.
Anyways, we got a new character! It's a woman (ominous). They're usually written to provide some progress for the couple, I'm hoping it isn't the type that was tries to break them up. I hope she's a lesbian lmao, now that's .a twist I can get behind!
So, what's going on in this arc is Yoojin is trying to nip in the bud the absolute pain in the ass the association is gonna be in the future (which he knows cuz he's a time traveller). He tried stopping its opening a few chapters ago cuz the association isn't ready and the awakening procedure does more harm than good. That didn't work. So he did some voluntary work to mitigate some of that harm, the mfs then tried to abuse that and make him basically their slave. Ofc, Yoojin refused. The association is now pissed cuz he wasn't giving in, so their next step was to target his weakness, Yoohyun, his brother. The media is suddenly focusing on the smallest of things Yoohyun does and blowing it out of proportion in order to slander him. It went too far and even the fire in the association building got tied to his name. That's where Yoojin went a couple chapters ago, he called out the people actually setting it on fire, injured them (this is what got him arrested lol) and made Riette destroy everything as if a dungeon break happened.
Now, they're having a live broadcast with the intention to clear up his brother's name. A whole ass telenovela painting the beasts and Yoohyun as angels who couldn't do any wrong lmao. With an added twist of Yoojin's arrest! This is to really cement how fcking ridiculous the association is with how they're accusing Yoojin of injuring someone stronger than him. Yoojin is now doing what the association did to his brother on them. Using the media and the people to harm their image and reputation. BUT, to make sure they can't get back up, he needs something more extreme.
He was detained in the association, so it's their responsibility to protect him while he's there. He's aware that some people who were officials there wants to kidnap him and sell him abroad. It's the perfect opportunity to do so, and that's exactly what he wants to happen. It's why he didn't press the alarm. Getting kidnapped, the country losing such a valuable person, the people getting outraged cuz this ain't the first strike, this is exactly the kind of thing that will enable the people to call for the downfall of the people involved. The evidence collected gotta be damning too.
Tldr: Yoojin used uno reverse card against the association, it's effective!
(I'm sorry it got too long, I obv don't know how to make a summary lol)
With companions always gunning for thrill and adventure, the house will definitely be collecting dust lmao. BUT he can absolutely afford it right now. Man's rich rich
Let me remain ignorant and in bliss with that ominous monologue. Don't shatter this fragile rose tinted glasses I have. I refuse to see the glaring red that smirk brought on. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Also, I'm already on the verge of tears just thinking that Heejae was doing all of these just to break Seyoung's heart. Or maybe it's because I'm about to have my period, either way, I cannot take it if it turns out to be the case, mc already got such a sad life and then this!? Please no, I'm begging.
Callisto only has 76% affection rate and he already asked her out, yet he did it mostly because it was the logical choice. Yes, there is some affection involved but the focus is the fact that they're two people shunned by the world. Why not stick together?
Penelope on the other hand realized that she is fond of him. She's at ease with him and I'm pretty sure preferred him over Eclis. It doesn't matter though, because just like Callisto, she's dictated by her logic and aware that the most efficient way of finishing the game is through Eclis.
It's honestly sad how love is just a means to an end to them. But I guess that's expected knowing that they hardly even experienced it. And the only form they know of it, isn't actually what love is.
We got a glimpse of a young uncle, he's hot then and he's still hot now. Honestly he got hotter
The tension is so fcking good and the pacing is immaculate. I'm so desperate for them to go all the way and yet we still haven't gotten to that point, ngl I'm liking the edging lmaooooooooooo. I'm so deprived that even just them kissing is hot, I'm so down bad fck.
Damn, it's actually been a while since I read something with actual foreplay in it. Most of the time they kiss and then immediately get to fcking. It's nice to see this part of sex represented lmaooooo. But I guess, most bls are fcking toxic and doesn't feature true love in it so expecting something like body worship, communication and consent isn't realistic lol.
Although, I gotta admit I'm looking forward to them finally going all the way. It has been awhile after all. The intimacy is so good though ugh
I love the fact that the prince loved her even before she changed! Honestly, it's a pet peeve of mine when the ml suddenly likes the mc when she's no longer acting the way she always was. I know it makes sense because she's not evil anymore, but I still don't like it. It irks me so much, especially when most of them flirt with other women while engaged. I'm so glad the prince this time has always been faithful to her. And he appreciated her efforts of doing everything to stand equal to him. She flaunts her wealth and gets the most expensive tutors but he is right that it's her own strength that made her who she was. This is the case with most villainess too though, they're always educated and cultured, that takes a lot of effort. Even the truly evil ones has put in hard work to get where they are
Honestly, if I had that much money, I wouldn't really spend it on lessons lol. Imma get hardbound copies of books and read those instead of reading in an illegal site lmaooooo.
Og!Lloyd actually had a change of heart! His anger at getting his body stolen didn't even last that long when he realized that Suho was doing good things as him. And he was concerned with his parents who would have mourned if Suho died. It was honestly adorable. I'm warming up to him! I wonder what his personality could be if he wasn't the alcoholic asshole sad boi he used to be.
I don't know if the author intended it or not (they must've) but this arc assuaged a lot of my concerns regarding Gongja's mental health. It elevated his character to new heights with his discovery of love and he found someone to share a life with.
And this is gonna be controversial but I really like how there's also a focus on non-action issues. Honestly, I consider my imagination pretty good but c'mon now, continues action scenes with almost no narration and just the movements makes me scroll fast (I'm glad suicide hunter isn't like this, I fcking loved the arc about his master from the demon sect, so beautiful). It's cool but I can only think cool and wow a couple of times before I get bored and go straight to the result lol. There's gotta be a balance. So I really love how the story's focusing on emotions and relationships right now. We get to know the main character deeper, and discover new things along with them. It's fun seeing him fall in love.
Also, it's rare to see in actions stories a pairing that's on equal grounds. They're both a lil bit crazy and are so madly in love with each other. They're so cute after this too, calling each other with petnames and being extreme as usual. Anyways, the next chapter is definitely gonna be so satisfying. Gongja's brain is so sexy!!!
He's respectful, continuously asks for consent, a green flag, while simultaneously scratching that itch I got for the dark and dangerous types!!! Mc really got his ideal man without compromising his safety lmao. Cuz, we gotta admit, the red flags are only hot in fiction. In real life? They fcking ruin lives (and are fcking rap*sts wtf ew).
Y'know what, they also do that when they don't even exist, those mfs really be testing me and I'm only reading about them lol.
I don't even care how unrealistic it is for everything to turn out good, and for conflicts to be easily resolved. I came for a good time and I'm getting it! Bring in all the opportunities, make Yeondu a genius, a musician, a multi-talented individual capable of doing everything she wants combined with a heart of gold. I'll eat it all up lmao. This story is truly for healing me (with all the truly dark, disturbing and frustrating stories I read) and Yeondu's well-deserved life after all her hardships.
I really like the trope of someone experienced teaching someone new to it, how to pleasure themselves. So if it goes that way, imma keep vibing, especially when I know Hyo-un will definitely welcome it with open arms lol. But Taehyuk got morals so I guess it won't go that way. He's already so uncomfortable with the things they usually do together just because Hyo-un's big, what more now that he knows he is attracted to him. I feel like he's gonna start avoiding him in earnest. It's fiction though, and I'm not the author so if it goes completely the opposite way then good.
As long as it doesn't go so fcking toxic, to the point where I'm not enjoying or curious about the story anymore then you'll see me continuing to comment lmao.
THE AWE, THE WORSHIP, THE BEGGING. IT'S SO SATISFYING HOW ALL THEIR HARDWORK PAID OFF BUT I WANT TO SEE MORE. I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT, THEY NEED TO GET MORE PRAISE AND ADMIRATION!
LOOK AT HOW DEVASTATINGLY BEAUTIFUL MARIN LOOKS, AND HOW ABSOLUTELY AMAZING THE COSPLAY GOJO MADE!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH (/TДT)/
(I'm so greedy, I want the author of Haniel to be flabbergasted and acknowledge the art Gojo and Marin made ╥﹏╥ make him swallow his words and admit that they captured the essense of Haniel.)
Pls give Peace an Oscar, his reactions deserves the best actor award lol. The fake smile and that "mow" killed me, it was so funny(≧∀≦)
The scenes at the end almost gave me goosebumps, that's how weird it was. Seeing Yoohyun acting like that feels like the world is ending, everything is sparkling, the eyes, background and subtitles but all it did is increase the horror. It's hilarious though, ngl ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
FRIEREN LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL IN A WEDDING DRESS GETTING MARRIED TO HIMMEL AND EVERYBODY CELEBRATING THEIR UNION
The angst tho sht, the fact that we were only able to see it because Himmel desires something so devastatingly unachievable （/TДT)/ ugh the pain ╥﹏╥ they're like parallel lines that miraculously met, formed 1 line for a short while, then the other got abruptly cut off, while the remaining one continued onward alone for what seems to be eternity. I love making myself even sadder lmao
He's so sweet and cuddly right now, one can almost forget how fcked up in the head he was lmao
Such a cute chapter, especially the scenes in their future where he plays and styles her hair. Idk why but I really love it when ml's interact with the fl's hair, I'm a sucker for it when they kiss it and stuff, anything to do with adoring it gets my heart all fluttery (≧∀≦)
The comments are so fcking harsh, I didn't expect that from such a chill manga. I don't know what y'all expected but it delivered exactly what it offered. They're two awkward introverted loners who're suddenly thrust upon a situation out of their comfort zone, of course it's gonna be weird as hell. I honestly enjoyed reading it. I like both of the main characters, and I'm happy they found each other. I also love the fact that they're questioning the importance of marriage. I related so much to that cuz I also have hobbies I wouldn't wanna give up or compromise on.
Anyways, the fact that it got a live action AND anime adaptation (later on) means that people actually like it. You haters are the exception cuz y'all comments reek of projection and misery lmao. Y'all can't appreciate some character development. The characters can't even be flawed and make mistakes, but that's the fcking point, look at where everyone is at the end of the story! I'm done, I'm gonna look forward to the anime and maybe watch the live action. The casting looks so good ohmygod! Oohara's hair looks so fluffy in the drama (≧∀≦)
